Well, I'm definatelt addicted to overeating. It's a daily battle, but gets easier over time. Not to say I don't still have slip ups, because honestly, it's not like you can just quit eating all together, so in my opinion is harder than it was to give up drinking. I don't need alcohol to live, so I just make sure I'm not…

So I forgot to start the curry chicken earlier today and totally cheated and made it on the stove in about 45 minutes. It was great, I used breasts instead of thighs though. Thanks for the recipe!

I had to stop buying it also until I felt like I had a handle on overeating. Once I felt like I was in better control of how much of what I eat, I was able to get it again and stay away from it. I have it for the kids, and stay away as much as possible. If I wasn't getting if for the kids though, I would not have it in the…

Ok, never mind. It's on the last page of the fundraiser catalogue and twice the price that it was when I looked last :( Gar! That's what I get for not having the money when I first saw it. Well, wish list anyway!

So now I'm bummed because I have to pick up Caitlin at 6, which means leaving here no later than 4. :( there is something I want though, but not sure if they sell them anymore. You know the cup I have that has the spout to drink and you can put a snack or something on the bottom? For several months they had a smaller…

So is there going to be Halloween Tupperware there ?

Well, at home you can watch some kids exercise movies, I've seen them at my library before. I used to walk in the mornings in the mall pushing the stroller before most of the stores open.

I'm pretty flexible, I stay at home with the kids. No gym membership though, so it would be walking stuff for me. I used to walk daily in the mall, in the mornings right after the kids went to school, and outside during the summers and was getting in pretty good shape, so I'd like to get involved with that again.

Thanks, just one of those things that pops into your mind and you think you're okay, but it doesn't hurt to ask. I think I'm doing pretty well on vitamins and such, but I'm sure I will need to "spice things up" eventually. Hopefully I can do that as low cal and nutritiously as I have done already. It's not easy finding…

Something I have almost daily is veggies cooked with spaghetti sauce and cottage cheese. Right now my veggies are zucchini and peppers, I also often have a blend with broccoli carrots and cauliflower for my veggies. I make enough for leftovers and store it in single serve containers to cut down on cooking sessions.

Glutino I think, has most or all dairy and all gluten free. All the stuff we get. My son has to stay away from soy also, so he gets coconut and almond yogurts. Make sure you read the labels carefully on things, it can be tricky and you can end up getting something you think is safe only to find that the last ingredient is…

*~angels singing~* I tried this twice now, first time I used 1 tablespoon cocoa and a pinch of baking powder and got a pretty eggy result, tasty, but not as super as I was hoping for. The second time I used 2 tablespoons cocoa like the PBS recipe uses and a full 1/4 tsp baking powder, it was fantastic!!! I can't say for…

When my now 9 year old was about 5, I had joined weight watchers and took her to meetings with me and she would quietly color. I guess one time she went to her grandma's house and told her that she should join weight watchers. Yikes, I wasn't there, but felt bad just the same when I heard about it. It's hard to try and get…

Just wondering, anyone have something to do for cream of mushroom soup? I used to cook with campbells cream soups all the time, and that is something we've really been missing. Wondered if anyone has any alternatives or recipes that can get me that result, so I can add it to things and make some of the stuff I used to be…

I like the Betty Crocker brownies, haven't tried any others. They're super easy to make too, which is a huge plus for me, since I'm always looking for shortcuts to cooking. I like to say it's because I'm busy though, and not just because I'm lazy and don't like spending bunches of time in the kitchen when there is soooo…

So I figured I'd post a couple easy GF dinner recipes, my hubby asked me the other day if I wrote these things down so that they could cook if something ever happened where I couldn't, and I thought, no, because I'm just a throw it together kind of gal, but I guess it's a good idea, and figured I'd share as long as I'm…

As for the play dough, I don't know that it's so much a problem of kids eating it, but I've never seen a kid play with it without getting it under their nails at the least. That alone would make it problematic for kids who have severe reactions, because then they eat with their hands later and there is a high risk of…

I've been not reading so have some catching up to do, but wanted to comment on the baby undergoing testing for celiacs. Just wanted to chime in that my son and daughter have both been tested and tests were negative, but we went gf with them anyway because it was helping with all their symptoms. They are both on the growth…

No, I don't drink any pop. I actually don't drink anything other than water, except the lactaid in my cereal. Maybe walking in place inside? Just about anything I do outside makes me swell like a balloon, and it's only in the low 80's still! I was silly and didn't take my ring off before the swelling started, so I'm hoping…

I have heard of it, though for me it was opposite. I know you can have some big withdrawal symptoms from removing sugar and caffeine though, I have definitely experienced caffeine withdrawals in a bad way. My husband has those symptoms when he accidentally gets any gluten, so, since he's stopped eating wheat, rye, barley,…

Did you make sure to select that you want to LOSE 1-2 lbs a day or did you do like I have done before and set it to GAIN 1-2 lbs a week? I have quickly checked the box and not realized that I set it to gain instead of lose, well, until I saw how much it gave me!

That happens to my husband too, even when he was running daily in the Marines. He would actually throw up frequently because he'd end up getting some running down his throat and making him sick. He's got chronic sinusitis and celiacs disease, not that those are the cause, but those are what we know he's got that could…

With my first two kids, I couldn't get rid of the extra weight until they were weaned. After they were weaned it just came off fairly effortlessly. After my third, I was already pregnant with the fourth when she weaned, so didn't take off the weight, and after the fourth, I weaned him in September, and have really…

I like it with spaghetti sauce and cottage cheese.

We buy Pacific Ultra soymilk, and most of the family likes it alright. I like it if I use it in cereal, but I'm really a cow milk kinda person, so I have to start milk substitutes IN things and not just go straight to plain. I think I've had the So Delicious vanilla yogurt, and liked it, couldn't tell much of a difference…

From what I've read online, the general consensus on sprouted wheat and such is that it still contains gluten and so is not safe for the diagnosed celiac, whether they have symptoms or not, apparently it is still damaging the intestine. For gluten sensitivity, it may be tolerated because there are different levels of…

Okay, I didn't know about changing the minutes and not just clicking on the box, thanks for the input. I was curious because some people talk about losing huge amounts of calories for something, and when I look what it would be for me, it's waaay different, so wondered if that was what might be happening. Thanks for the…

We are looking at changing our dog food, as we know that the babies have been glutened by touching the dishes before, maybe even from getting nuzzled by the dogs too soon after they've eaten. Periodically they just seem to have a problem, and other than the dog food, we are gluten free entirely.

Hmm, I'll have to save this for later. I love to try new soups. Thanks. Did you add this to MFP's food database, and if so, under what name?

I was doing great when I was getting up early every morning and walking or jogging to start my day. Since I've stopped that, I've been having a really tough time. I think my slump has lasted 2 months now :( I think doing some exercise in the AM is a really good idea.
